As the logo on the gas bottle makes clear, Chris’s BBQ radio is fueled by Radio New Zealand, just as the radio station fuels the public conversations that all of us can listen in on. Everyone is invited to this BBQ of the airwaves (and the podosphere). Ironically, the gas bottle may be running out. As the Save Radio New Zealand Facebook site says, “The Govt appears hell bent on driving Radio NZ into the ground.” An associated website provides links to related stories and background information. Both of these sites have grown rather quiet since they were started earlier this year, but the threat to our public broadcaster is ever-present.
